| Summary: | This article examines the term kammaṭṭhāna discussed in the Visuddhimagga and the Jie tuo dào lùn or *Vimuttimagga. Although these two texts provide similar lists and expositions for the kammaṭṭhāna, the Visuddhimagga also offers different views and criticisms. The first noticeable difference is in the 10 kasi?as, which differ in relation to the last two kasi?as. Furthermore, the Visuddhimagga systematises its own discussion by simplifying or specifying that of the Jie tuo dào lùn and raises some criticisms of views found in the Jie tuo dào lùn in the process. All of these features imply that the discussion of meditative practice, especially of the kammaṭṭhāna, has been diverse within the Theravāda tradition. |
